'Instagram has targeted my account': Believing she's been the victim of a shadow-ban, Gina took to Instagram to share a fiery post defending herself

Believing that she is the victim of a shadow-ban, Gina took to Instagram to share a fiery post defending herself against what she sees as unjust censorship.

'This is something that not many people know about but it's a form of censorship,' she wrote.

'Instagram has targeted my account, my account has followed the guidelines and the Instagram rules,' she continued.

'My account is tasteful and artistic, glamorous and reflects that older woman can be beautiful. Life is not over once you turn 40.'

The mother-of-four then pointed out that she's generated traffic for the social media site thanks to her celebrity profile in the mainstream media, on top of raising money and awareness for charitable causes.

'I have generated a lot of traffic for Instagram over the past year throughout world press. I have raised money for cancer research, raised thousands and helped Jared Allen's Home For Wounded Warriors.'

She continued: 'I have also personally raised money for my sick friend who suffered a stroke and couldn't cover the bills or look after her young teenage boys.'
